Fire Control Repairer
Electronics systems are an integral component to many of the weapons the Army National Guard deploys. The National Guard relies on the Fire Control Repairer to keep these systems functioning properly.
As a Fire Control Repairer, you are responsible for combat vehicle, infantry, and artillery fire control systems and equipment, as well as related test equipment.
